The Bloody Mist Pt. 2

Jutsus

Thoughts

Kyuubi

OOC: Hey all, this is Part 2 of 3 of the Mist Saga. Yes, 3.

Here in part 2, you'll see Naruto's power, Zabuza's thoughts on Naruto, and more!

A little note, I will not go in depth about Kakashi versus Zabuza, etc, for many reasons.

I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto does.

Naruto was before Zabuza and his was surrounded by a faint aura of red chakra. He was mad, and that's when he unleashed his power in a swipe, sending a blast of wind at Zabuza, making him fly back on the water. Zabuza got back up, surprised by the power this kid held in one swipe. Then he noticed something, the kid was preparing a jutsu, one he knew too well. His widened as Naruto smirked and spoke out the jutsu, "Suiton: Water Dragon Blast!" and Zabuza couldn't react in time as a huge water dragon hit him back.

Naruto sped forward as Zabuza got up and unleashed a flurry of punches, sending Zabuza back, into a log and he spoke, still influenced by the Kyuubi, "I can see many things, Zabuza, and I see your death." Right before he was going to strike Zabuza, three senbon hit Zabuza's neck and he collapsed. Naruto's eyes narrowed and he saw a masked person appear. It was a hunter nin, and he spoke, "I assume you've been hunting Zabuza for a while." The person nodded before disappearing, and the red chakra disappeared from Naruto. He felt strength leaving him and collapsed, going to sleep, to regain his energy.

Kakashi picked up Naruto, as Sakura, aching still, walked beside Kakashi as the team headed to Tazuna's home. Kakashi left Naruto to rest and he mused to himself, muttering, "If that was just the bare power of the Kyuubi…then what else could Naruto hold in store." He then sighed and summoned a dog, with a small blue cape, "Pakkun, head back to Konoha, tell Sarutobi to send Shizaru, this mission just got dangerous for my team." The dog named Pakkun nodded and went off to head to Konoha.

Meanwhile...

In a hidden home, Zabuza sat with his sword and spoke to the hunter Nin who had supposedly killed him, "That brat is strong, far stronger then I expected." The other person spoke, "But he should be easy enough to kill, you saw how he went after you hurt that girl." Zabuza snorted and said, "His weakness is that girl, something easily taken care of." Then, a fat man walked in and said, "You ran into trouble, Zabuza, why did you not take care of them?" Zabuza rolled his eyes and said, "Gato, That kid was above my level of strength, like a demon."

Gato said, "Hn, just kill them next time, or my men will kill you." Zabuza looked at Gato with a bored expression, "Is that all?" Gato was going to say something but just left, he had plans anyway. This left Zabuza and the other person to themselves, and Zabuza was quiet and thinking. The other person spoke, "Zabuza-san, what will you do with the boy?" Zabuza smirked behind his wrappings and said, "Bend his weakness and then break him, Haku." The person named Haku nodded and left Zabuza to muse some more.

However, Zabuza knew doing so would be a tough task and he stood. He looked at his sword and furrowed his eyebrows. He then shook his head and muttered, "I want that rematch soon, kid, and you had better go all out on me." He then picked up his sword and put it against the wall as he sat down on his bed he was provided in his room. He thought about the old days, and he wondered how his old swordsman ex-friends were doing.

Back with Team 7

As Naruto rested, Kakashi and Sakura sat in his room and Sakura asked, "Kakashi-sensei, what was that red chakra?" Kakashi looked at Sakura and said, "It was, to say the least, a part of Naruto surfacing that relies on anger." Sakura nodded, tired and aching, and got in a cot next to Naruto, and fell asleep. Kakashi looked at Naruto and frowned behind his mask and said to himself, "Minato, your son has a lot of trials ahead of him with the Kyuubi inside of him. I only hope they don't find out about him." Kakashi shook his head and laid down himself, musing about the past.

Outside the house, two figures looked at the house, quiet. One spoke, "The Kyuubi is in there, Kisame; we shall wait until he has eliminated his enemies to strike." The other man, named Kisame, snorted and said, "Ah well, I wanted to talk to Zabuza, but looks like the kid will finish him off anyway, Itachi-san." The other one, named Itachi, only nodded and turned, leaving, with Kisame following. Itachi glanced back to the home and thought few words, but simple that they were, 'Kisame is right, the kid is strong, and my brother is with him.' The two stopped at their hideout home and went to sleep themselves, unaware of the full events going to go down when they attacked.

Time Skip, The Bridge

OOC: Yes, I am skipping to the bridge, because Part 3 focuses on that, and Itachi's encounter of Naruto's power.

It had been a while since Naruto recovered, and up until the current day, he had trained with Sakura and Sasuke, and Kakashi. They had worked on many things, like chakra control with their feet. Naruto mastered it quickly, followed by Sakura, and far later, Sasuke. During the training, they were attacked by henchmen of Gato, but they were quickly done with, and the team headed to the bridge to face off against Zabuza and Haku. Currently, Sakura was guarding Tazuna, while Naruto made work of Haku. Naruto dodged a senbon and twirled his sword and said, "Come on, Haku, is that the best you got." A senbon got him in the neck, but that Naruto poofed, a clone. The real Naruto appeared behind Haku and punched Haku forward.

Haku got up and had an idea, and threw 3 senbon at Sakura. Naruto spoke, "Shiro Senkou." And quickly deflected the senbon and growled out, "This is between me and you, Haku." But little fireballs flew at Haku, prompting him to dodge as Sasuke charged in saying, "Dobe, let me handle this." Naruto cursed and sped forward to stop Sasuke as ice needles flew down to them and Naruto tackled Sasuke, as dust exploded. When it cleared, to Sakura's relief, Naruto was safe and so was Sasuke. Naruto stood and pointed his sword at Haku.

Haku quickly unleashed his Demonic Ice Mirrors Technique. Naruto looked around and closed his eyes and pointed his sword up, holding it close, as he heard Haku and then opened his eyes, a little too late as senbon began to fly at him. Naruto spun and without a word, created a chakra dome, deflecting. He looked around, growling, while Sasuke got up and tried to fight too, failing as he was hit by senbon, prompting him to be knocked out. Naruto rolled his eyes and using a quick technique, teleported Sasuke out of there as he fought Haku one on one.

But he should have noticed Sakura rushing in, obviously thinking something was wrong, and he saw the Senbon pierce her neck. His eyes went wide and he grabbed Sakura, hunched over her. He knew she was unconscious but just seeing that brought him anger. He stood as Haku stared down from a mirror, and the red chakra appeared again, gathering around him. Everyone felt it on the bridge, and they knew Naruto was pissed, because the feeling was much heavier. Naruto glared hard at Haku and spoke, "While she isn't dead, You're going to pay." Haku's eyes went wide as his mirrors broke from a sheer force of the red chakra and felt a fist smash into his mask, breaking it and making him fly.

Naruto loomed over him and spoke.

"I don't like Sakura-chan getting hurt."

Haku shook in fear, until he felt something and said, "I am sorry, Naruto-san, but I must protect my precious person." And he disappeared. Naruto whipped around, but calmly walked over to Sakura, taking out the senbon and laying her near Tazuna, leaning down and giving Sakura a kiss and spoke, "Take care of her, I have something to finish with Zabuza." And with that, he sped off, into the deeper mist. His eyes narrowed as he saw Zabuza, Kakashi and Haku ahead. He stopped and he looked upon the sight of Kakashi laying Haku down, closing his eyes. Naruto glared hard at Zabuza and spoke, "You used him like a tool, you…monster!" and with that, Naruto charged and punched at Zabuza.

Zabuza growled but he noticed Naruto stopping and looking past him. He turned, hearing a voice, "So, you failed again, Zabuza. Oh well, that's easily fixed, kill them both boys." There was Gato, with thugs and such. Naruto glanced at Zabuza and spoke, losing the mixed voice for now, "Truce to kill them?" Zabuza nodded, taking up his sword and Naruto drew out his, the Shiro Kitsune. The two took a stance and then charged, as did the men fighting for Gato, but the two moved with grace and without mercy, destroyed the group. Naruto then noticed, as he smiled to himself, he was struck by swords and spears stuck out of him and Zabuza, and he fell to his knees, watching Zabuza kill Gato.

Naruto felt arms pick him up after taking out the spears still stuck in him and he could barely see the red hair of Shizaru. He then was laid down on the bridge again, and he could faintly hear Sakura, as he continued to smile. He felt Kyuubi's chakra licking at his wounds and he barely was still conscious as he heard all the voices. Then, his eyes went wide as he heard footsteps, and he knew it wasn't anyone, as he heard Shizaru shift into stance, turning. Naruto, through some pain, sat up and looked. He heard a voice he didn't want to hear.

"Hello, Naruto-kun."

Before Team 7 and Shizaru, stood Uchiha Itachi and his partner, Kisame.

OOC:

Yes, Zabuza is dead, as is Haku. The reason why that is, is because Part 3 is the battle against Itachi and Kisame, to show you finally a part of Naruto's bloodline, and what Shizaru is all about.

Review please?
